In-Depth Information
When guides are displayed, it's easy to place text and objects with precision, in-
cluding automatically snapping them into place. The guides do not print and do not

menus as well. These include View > Grids & Guides > Show Guides and
Type > Show Hidden Characters.

From the same View Options menu, choose Hidden Characters.
